Ingredients
Blender Ingredients
- 8 oz frozen strawberries (250 g), leaves removed

- 1 oz sugar syrup (30 ml)
- 2 oz fresh lime juice (60 ml)
- 4 oz white rum (120 ml)

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Frozen strawberries: These give the drink its thick, frosty texture. Use fully frozen berries for the best consistency.
- Fresh strawberries: These boost the fresh berry flavor and help round out the frozen fruit.
- Sugar syrup: Simple syrup blends more smoothly than sugar in frozen drinks. Adjust the amount slightly if your strawberries are very sweet or very tart.
- Lime juice: Fresh lime juice gives the best flavor. Bottled juice can work in a pinch, but fresh tastes brighter.
- White rum: A clean, light rum works best here. You can also use coconut rum for a tropical twist.
- Non-alcoholic option: Replace the rum with cold water, sparkling water, coconut water, or a splash of lemon-lime soda for a mocktail version.

Expert Tips
- Use frozen strawberries straight from the freezer so the daiquiri stays thick.
- Chill your glasses before serving for an extra refreshing result.
- Taste the mixture before serving and add a little more syrup if you want it sweeter.
- If the mixture is too thick, add a small splash of rum or lime juice to loosen it.
- If the mixture is too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries and blend again.
- Fresh lime juice really makes the flavor pop, so it is worth using here.
- Serve right away for the best frozen texture.
- Garnish with a whole strawberry to make the glasses look party-ready.
Storage & Freezing
- Fridge: This drink is best served immediately. If left in the fridge, it will melt and lose its frozen texture.
- Freezer: You can freeze leftovers in a sealed container for a short time. Let the mixture soften slightly, then stir or re-blend before serving.
- Thawing: If frozen solid, let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, then blend again for the best texture.
Variations
- Virgin strawberry daiquiri: Skip the rum and use cold water or sparkling water.
- Strawberry coconut daiquiri: Replace white rum with coconut rum.
- Strawberry mango daiquiri: Add a little frozen mango for a tropical flavor.
- Mixed berry daiquiri: Blend in raspberries or blueberries with the strawberries.
- Extra citrus daiquiri: Add a little lime zest for stronger lime flavor.
